>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-638
>             Project: Apache Jena
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: ARQ, Optimizer
>    Affects Versions: Jena 2.11.1
>            Reporter: Andy Seaborne
>            Assignee: Andy Seaborne
>             Fix For: Jena 2.11.2

> There is a new opportunity for transformation of slice/order to a TopN 
> execution.
> Currently, {{OrderByDistinctApplication}} is done after TopN.
> If {{OrderByDistinctApplication}} is done before TopN optimization, then the 
> algebra may have the form slice/order/distinct/project which is can be 
> executed as a TopN query. This form does not appear in algebra expressions 
> directly from queries; the modifier order is slice/distinct/project/order 
> which, in general, is not safe for TopN execution.
> However, {{OrderByDistinctApplication}} picks out a condition for it's own 
> optimization, that leaves the resultant algebra as further transformable to 
> TopN.
> Currently:
> {noformat}
> SELECT DISTINCT  ?z
> WHERE
>   { ?s ?p ?z }
> ORDER BY ?z
> LIMIT   5
> {noformat}
> Compiled to algebra:
> {noformat}
> (slice _ 5
>   (distinct
>     (project (?z)
>       (order (?z)
>         (bgp (triple ?s ?p ?z))))))
> {noformat}
> After optimization: TopN did not apply:
> {noformat}
> (slice _ 5
>   (order (?z)
>     (distinct
>       (project (?z)
>         (bgp (triple ?s ?p ?z))))))
> {noformat}
> but this is possible:
> {noformat}
> (top (5 ?z)
>   (distinct
>     (project (?z)
>       (bgp (triple ?s ?p ?z)))))
> {noformat}
